Glad you brought this up because it happened to me. I loved watching his videos when I was younger and didn't really see the red flags about him until much later.
I'm out of the loop, what did AVGN do? All I know is that his content quality has turned to shit ever since he partnered with Screenwave
Nothing truly awful or anything like that, he released his autobiography not too long ago and it basically confirms what everyone was starting to suspect, James is an incredibly entitled, clueless narcissist who truly does believe the shitty home movies he made as a 7 year old are legitimate avant-garde films that should be studied. Mike is the true angry nerd who did most of the work and had to constantly tard-wrangle James because Bimmy has less tech experience and know-how than a stereotypical doddering, senile old boomer. James throws friends like Kyle and Bootsy under the bus because they dared asked to be paid for their work instead of doing free labor for the honor of working with a genius filmmaker like him. He bitches in his book about having to work a retail job in college because its beneath a master artist like him, he tells "and then everyone clapped" stories about schooling his filmmaking class on how to create, even "correcting" his professor.
I don't pay attention to either, but I get Boogie and Wings of Redemption mixed up. Both are fat streamer nerds.
Supposedly boogie but I think he's full of shit
